Don't have Solid Edge?

...then don't waste your time downloading the programs on this
page. I only mention this to prevent frustration, since these
programs won't do anything without Solid Edge...

Freeware

PropSheet-lite - this little program is a modified version of
the "Part Prop" demo provided by Solid Edge. I've simply fixed a bug that
existed in the original, and made the user interface a bit more user-friendly. This
download has a complete setup package.

TitleBlock -
this
simple macro takes file properties and uses them to fill out
your custom Title-Block. The only thing you have to do is enter the
properties you want (preceded by a '%' symbol) in the title-block of your
draft template file. The macro searches all text on the page for words
beginning in the '%' symbol. If a recognizable file property follows,
the macro replaces the text with the indicated property (e.g. - '%Material'
might be replaced by 'Stainless Steel'). Any text field has been
branded as a particular property will be "remembered". This
simply means that you can update an existing title block simply by
re-running the macro.

UPDATE: With version 9 of Solid
Edge, this titleblock macro is outdated. Rather than post a working
version of this program, I'm providing the source code instead. It's
a simple program, but if you're new to customizing Solid Edge through
Visual Basic automation, it might serve as a useful example.

Shareware

If you like PropSheet-lite, then check out this program.
Redesigned to be faster, PropSheet also adds several very handy features
and a much-improved user-interface. Now it's possible to add/edit
custom file properties as well as part density. No
longer will you be forced to search through several dozen files for that
one part keeping the assembly mass from calculating properly! It's
easy to show only the property columns you want, and in whatever order you
desire. This shareware version will run for 30 days -- after the
demo period you must register the program if you wish to continue using
it.

NOTE:The download file was created using the Microsoft® Windows® Visual
Studio Installer (the file has an extension of .MSI). If the
installer does not automatically start when you attempt to run the
PropSheet.MSI file, you will need to download this
(larger) file -- it includes the Microsoft® Windows® Installer files (if you are using
Windows2000 or ME, they already are on your computer, however).
Additionally, the installer also requires that you have the Microsoft Data Access Components
(mdac_typ.exe) on your computer. You can get that here.
PropSheet Hints:

- Double-click the row-titles to grey-out individual rows of the
spreadsheet. Do this to avoid re-saving properties for parts that
haven't changed and to speed-up the save process -- greyed-out items will
not be saved.

- Use copy and paste to duplicate duplicate individual cells or even
blocks of cells.

- Want to print out a nice table of properties? Copy and paste
the entire table into MS Excel or whatever spreadsheet you have.

- Under the Tools/Configure menu heading, you will find everything you
need to add/remove/rearrange property columns in the spreadsheet.
Right-click on the property names to rename them.
